Hello, hello! It’s been a little while since my last post. I’m so sorry about that. Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere, nor am I going to apologise every time I post a bit later. 🙂 It’s just that this year was a bit of a roller coaster. In a good way, but a roller coaster…

Happy New Year from Alive and Trekking! I hope that 2016 will be amazing, filled with good health, lots of travel, positivity and kindness!

You see, I really love this place! 🙂 So, here’s the official announcement: travelsan becomes aliveandtrekking.com. Why the name change? When…
